The 1961 AMA RECALL Setting the Stage... Come with us and see just what happens be- hind the scenes at Augusta! To the passing motorist on busy U.S. I1, Fort Defiance’s Augusta Military Academy is simply a group of buildings, with an impressive main bar- racks as its central prop .. . and that’s all. What we hope to show is why our school has lasted for so many years why we've been labeled by our beloved Principal as the “best corps in the history of AMA” “esprit de corps” which makes every visitor com- . why we’ve had the Curtain up on ....63 8.6 ns THE ACADEMICS Page 18 Hit the heights of .........

Let’s take a trip through the fabulous year of 1960-61, where we'll meet the “actors,” the “di- rectors,” the ‘“‘stagehands”; where you'll see the sets, see the events, and finally realize as we do that we’ve been proud to be a part of the ’61 corps .

They set the standards of our performance. Principal of AMA Brig. Gen. Chas. S. Roller, Jr. B.S., M.S., Virginia Military Institute “THIS 1S THE WAY TO PLAY THE GAME!” ... Nothing can keep Gen. Roller from showing the football team how to stop the opponent or how to win the game. With a minimum effort, he instilled enthusiasm, spirit, and team drive into every boy. GIANTS OF DEVOTION TO DUTY .. . Mrs. Chas. S. Roller, Jr., Gen. Roller, and Battle Group Commander Jim Crawford display the affection they have for one another .. . an additional reason why the ’61 corps goes down in annals as the top one. In many ways .. . our directors Few couples in the United States have earned the love, respect, and devotion of so many boys over such a long time... for over 51 years together Gen. and Mrs. Chas. S. Roller, Jr. have given their lives to the service of others. No day goes by that the General does not talk to his boys in the Mess Hall and individually as needed. Seldom do we fail to see Mrs. Roller talking with boys about their problems and never has either one failed to give his advice when it has been requested. In every way they have directed our future. They have shown us the path to success by their unselfish devotion to duty, by their love for their church, by their concern for each cadet who has been at Augusta since 1909, and by every act of kindness which they so frequently extend collectively and individually. “Tt’s not what you make... it’s what you save that counts ... save your money, your love, and your interests. What makes a man is what’s on the inside, boys,” pro- claims the General. Augusta has such a Principal and his lady . . . they are a storehouse of what we need in life . . . people who care enough to help others.
